I was almost shocked to see All About My Mother - I thought, are there 2 films called, All About My Mother? I suppose that's not the first foreign film on the list, but the ones that beat it starred an American or were written by Americans, so maybe they don't count....<BR/><BR/>Enough kvetching. So do you mean, 9 not on the list, or just 9? I will combine! ha ha ha!<BR/><BR/>Best 9 on the list:<BR/>1. Blue Velvet<BR/>2. Rushmore<BR/>3. Breaking the Waves<BR/>4. Do the Right Thing<BR/>5. This is Spinal Tap<BR/>6. Groundhog Day<BR/>[what? what? what the fuck? what the fuck? it IS a <A HREF="http://lazyeyetheatre.blogspot.com/2008/06/bizarro-days.html" REL="nofollow">bizarro day</A> list!]<BR/>6. Pulp Fiction<BR/>7. Full Metal Jacket<BR/>8. There Will Be Blood<BR/>9. Evil Dead II<BR/><BR/>And Not On The List:<BR/><BR/>1. City of Sadness (Hou)<BR/>2. Inland Empire (Lynch)<BR/>3. Fallen Angels (Wong)<BR/>4. Yi Yi (Yang)<BR/>5. Satantango (Tarr)<BR/>6. Vanda's Room (Costa)<BR/>7. Peking Opera Blues (Tsui)<BR/>8. Brazil (Gilliam)<BR/>9. O Brother Where Art Thou? (Les Freres Coens)<BR/><BR/>And Groundhog Day.<BR/><BR/>I should add - as I have said a couple other places - if you are willing - and able - to look for them, there are still as many great films being made as ever. I still don't know how the decline of theatrical showings and the increased availability of DVD will play out in helping people find them...weepingsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885871104310819374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328044635245211188.post-82691615711488873352008-06-23T14:19:00.000-07:002008-06-23T14:19:00.000-07:001.
